Hi Everyone,<br>A teacher asked me whether a blind child should have posters or photos in a classroom presentation, and I told her if the sighted children were expected to do something, the blind child should be as well. He is in 7th grade I think. Do you have any suggestions of how he should do this? I said that if it were a group presentation, that he was already working with people, so they would all have suggestions for photos and someone could describe them. If he's working alone, a powerpoint is a good alternative, except I don't think he has the skills to do one. Is 7th grade to young to suggest a reader?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Martha<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Pibe-division mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:Pibe-division@nfbnet.org" href="mailto:Pibe-division@nfbnet.org">Pibe-division@nfbnet.org</a><br>http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/pibe-division_nfbnet.org<br>To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your
